A flash of fiction …

Keith's Ramblings

for Friday Fictioneers

I work in a soulless office performing mind-numbing chores. My colleagues think I’m boring. Little do they know that come nightfall I swap clerking for twerking!

How do I look? Lipstick’s perfect. My bouffant? Another swoosh of hairspray I think. Off with my cardigan and slippers, on with my slinky dress and highest heels.  I’m on my way!

My favourite club. The noise, the lights, the people! Look, there’s handsome Rob from work chatting up Sally from accounts. Called me dreary yesterday. What’ll he make of me now? Move over gall, I’m coming!

I need a pee first.  I must remember to use the lady’s room not the men’s!

    Dear Keith,

    I’m glad I set my coffee down before I read this. You made me laugh out loud. Stellar use of the prompt.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      I’m pleased you did – put down your coffee, and laugh! This has to be one of the strangest prompts you’ve provided us with!

    After all that twerking one does need the bathroom! Great take on the prompt.

    As John Lennon sings, “Whatever gets you through the night.” Such an entertaining tale, Keith.

    when nature calls, one can’t really hide his true identity. 🙂

        That’s what I thought. Hey, I picked up on it right away but somehow wasn’t a 100% Positive

    So many great lines in this one, Keith! And I love the fact that your character’s reaction to seeing people they know is to approach, not shy away.

    Excellent piece, Keith. I think he’s going to have some fun with those co-workers before the night is over.

    There is nothing like a double life to spark up a boring office.
    Having to remember which toilet to use made me laugh out loud.
    The CCA (Centre for Contemporary Arts) in Glasgow have designated their toilets
    Gender Free.
    Now I was confused; a woman walked into the Gents (Sorry, Gender Free with Urinals).
    I mean what do you say?

    Yes, careful about your choice of toilets, wouldn’t want to spoil the illusion!

    Very entertaining tale, especially given the strange prompt (haha). It was a difficult one for me. Have a happy weekend, Keith!

    Indeed, a fun little tale this week, Keith.
    It’s all in the shoes. You’ve got to have the right shoe.
    A very enjoyable write and a great use of the prompt.
